Available to hire
Hi, I’m Lawrence. I’m a documentary producer and audio storyteller with over a decade of experience creating non-fiction audio that informs, entertains and moves people. I love combining rigorous research with empathy, humour and a strong sense of narrative to bring real people and issues to life through sound.
My work spans independent projects and broadcast collaborations, where I guide ideas from concept to finished episode—handling research, interviews, scripting, editing, sound design and mixing. I enjoy leading teams, mentoring producers, and delivering stories that resonate with audiences across Australia and beyond.
